Viajero CDMX Centro Hostel

Terrible hostel, rude staff, rooms are hot and stuffy and don't have flyscreens on the windows, something was biting me I think it was bedbugs. They charged me for a tour that I didn't go on.

Pros: Well located, very social, budget-friendly. Cons: Woke up with bed bug bites (Dorm 112, bed C), extremely warm dorms at night with no air circulation, ceiling fans would be great. Inconsistent shower temperature, goes extremely cold and you must leave it off for about minute to get warm water again. Met some cool people, would never stay again.

The Wifi is very iffy more often than not. You'll have to reconnect to it every 5-10 minutes or so, and sometimes the wifi isn't all that fast, but for the most part it was serviceable. While the showers were hot and clean, they would frequently alternate between warm to scorching hot without you touching the handle so you have to turn the shower off and then turn it back on to reset to your preferred temperature. The location is also a double edged sword, it's right next to Zocalo which already has TONS of fun stuff to do and lots of shops, markets, and food options. However if you want to do any normal touristy things or go to clubs in Roma or Condesa your best bet is a 20+ minute Uber or the metro, unless you are okay with longer walks. Finally, while very minute and arguably insignificant in the overall experience, if you get a top bunk do expect to have the first step of the ladder being higher than you'd expect off the floor.

I got bed bugs in my room! I told it to the guy at the reception and he acted completely unbothered like “ah yeah, looks like bed bugs”. Everyone who ever had them might now how extremely uncomfortable it is. Stitches all over my body. I slept in a single room and it felt quite simple (with shared bath, that’s not super clean) for 60$.

No air circulation or ventilation in rooms, extremely hot at night, unreliable shower temperature, woke up with bed bug bites one night (room 112, bed C), homeless guy near the entrance every night selling drugs.
